Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 266 Human nature has changed.

"What kind of nonsense have you been learning every day? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tell Emma everything you've done and she'll teach you a lesson!"

Milo really wanted to give Finn a mixed doubles match.

How old is this kid?

What kind of nonsense is going on in my head?

……

"Don't say it! Please, my sister will kill me."

Little Finn looked at Milo with a pitiful expression.

"I'm only thinking of you~ You work so hard outside every day, and Dad said I should learn from you and become a useful person, earning money to support the family, so that's why I..."

"You're kidding me."

Milo picked up little Finn and headed home.

……

It is now evening.

Even though it's already April, the daylight hours in Nanwei City haven't lengthened significantly. It's only a little past five in the evening, and the sky is already tinged with red.

However, locals are used to the sun's habit of arriving late and leaving early, and many street vendors have already packed up and prepared to go home before the smog descends at night.

After nightfall, it's time for thieves to clock in. Just like the lamplighters mentioned earlier, they can do many things that they can't do during the day under the cover of darkness.

Moreover, it wasn't just pickpockets and robbers; some men and women, driven by lust, even engaged in sexual activity in deserted alleyways, whether to save on hotel accommodations or simply to seek thrills.

Anyway, it proves what old Theon said—people's hearts are no longer what they used to be.

……

Although Milo was a law enforcement officer, he only dealt with cases involving the dead. Such blatant acts of procreation were naturally outside his jurisdiction. All he could do was quicken his pace and get out of the street before Little Finn heard those unbearable noises.

But perhaps it was the officer's black trench coat that made the two people in the alley feel threatened, thus triggering an even stronger sense of agitation.

In any case, the noise became even more jarring.

It's as if they're afraid others won't know what they're doing.

"Brother, why are you walking so fast?"

Finn was carried by Milo with his feet practically off the ground.

"For your physical and mental health." Milo's face darkened.

"Aww." Little Finn seemed to understand, but then glanced back at the dark alley and asked curiously, "That auntie sounds like she's in a lot of pain. Are you sure you don't want to help her...?"

"Shut the hell up."

"okay."

...

People's hearts are no longer what they used to be.

Milo kept repeating this sentence to himself the whole time.

What the hell, they specifically chose to do this kind of thing near schools...

After Milo carried Finn away from that filthy place, they entered a relatively spacious neighborhood.

The streets here are lined with shops that stay open even at night. Perhaps to take care of the business in this commercial area, the streetlights are already turned on before it gets dark.

Milo put little Finn down and let him wander off on his own.

Thinking to myself, I figured I wouldn't encounter anything inappropriate for children on such a brightly lit street.

In any case, his black trench coat does have a certain deterrent effect, and those with bad intentions should take the initiative to avoid him.

……

As Milo was crossing the street, he saw a figure blatantly putting his hand in the pocket of a man in a suit and slowly pulling his wallet out.

Moreover, when she saw Milo in his law enforcement uniform, she didn't restrain herself at all; in fact, she even had a playful smile on her face.

But that's not the most outrageous thing.

The most outrageous thing is that this female pickpocket was practically naked...

……

"Uh……"

Milo's lips twitched twice.

What's the situation now?
The streets were bustling with people—men, women, the elderly, children, and passing carriages. It wasn't exactly crowded, but there were people everywhere.

But everyone seemed to ignore the woman who was intently taking out her wallet. Some passersby even brushed past her without giving her a second glance.

what happened?

Are they all blind?
Milo stood on the street with Finn in his hand, looking at the man across the street who was smoking by the street lamp without realizing it, and then at the woman who was taking his wallet.

Milo rubbed his eyes twice.

He first doubted himself.

After all, he had experienced hallucinations before; during his time in the town of Ikham, he switched back and forth between the perspective of the undead and the real world almost every day.

But Milo quickly calmed down. He confirmed that he was indeed holding Finn's hand, and Finn was looking up at him with wide eyes: "Brother, what are you standing there for?"

"You...can't see it?"

Milo asked Finn in a low voice.

"What are you looking at?" Little Finn looked around blankly for a moment, then looked up again: "Brother, what did you see?"

Milo narrowed his eyes instantly.

He re-examined all the passersby around him.

Indeed, it's true, everyone seems to be completely blind to that woman.

Logically speaking, if such a generous and lavish lady were wandering the streets, even if she wasn't stealing, no man could resist looking at her.

The only explanation is that no one can see her.

Only Milo saw it.

……

"This is outrageous!"

Milo muttered to himself.

He picked up Finn and calmly walked across the street, deliberately moving closer to where the woman was.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Milo acted quite normally, even chatting with Finn along the way, and his gaze didn't linger on the woman when it swept over her.

This made the smug smile on his face even wider.

……

However, just as she was about to pull her wallet out of the man's pocket, Milo suddenly stopped.

"Could I borrow a light, sir?"

He politely asked the man a question.

This caused Ms. L, who was stealing, to immediately withdraw her hand.

The wallet then fell to the ground with a thud.

The man casually bent down to pick up the wallet, dusted it off, and then took out a match and said to Milo, "Of course, Mr. Enforcer."

……

Milo struggled to suppress his laughter throughout.

The woman, whose theft plan had been thwarted, stomped her feet in frustration.

It's worth noting that, without any clothing to cover her, the scene that Milo caught a glimpse of with each stomp of her foot was quite visually striking.

Unfortunately, he could only catch a glimpse of the other person out of the corner of his eye...

The man, completely unaware of the idyllic scene unfolding behind him, eagerly offered Milo a cigarette: "Sir, you must try this, the finest tobacco from the colony..."

……

Finally, the woman suppressed the urge to unleash a torrent of curses, gave Milo countless middle fingers, and disappeared around the street corner in a fit of rage.

After seeing the man off, Milo took out a brass ring from his pocket, put it on, and said to Eric:
"Go, keep a close eye on that person from earlier."

After giving the instructions, he asked again:
"You can see it, right?"

Eric and the other six nodded repeatedly, even giving a thumbs up.

……

And so, the seven shadows followed the direction the woman had gone.

Milo, still wanting more, took little Finn home.

For the first time, he felt that Finn was completely superfluous.
